Hi Vijay

Bwf has updated their rules ect, one of which is

Please note that self bans are no longer given, if you would like your account to be deactivated please PM us HOWEVER keep in mind that if you do decide to deactivate you cannot return with a new ID.

Is this the feature that you mentioned a couple of weeks ago? If I request a deactivation, will it be similar to account hibernating? Thanks

Deactivation / Hibernation right is with the user only and they can do it on their own through Account Settings. Mods cannot deactivate/reactivate.

I think the point that they are trying to make is that some users make unwanted posts which is against the Forum Code of Conduct and when they get Warning Level, they deactivate their account and come with a new account and continue the same thing which defeats the purpose of WLs.

This has nothing to do with the feature that I have mentioned and again it will be in the hands of the user where they let their hibernation lapse and that user account will not be retrievable.

abhe what is this Sir..

pehle sab theek dikhta tha mobile pe, total posts = 1078 views = 21288

or abhe eysa dikh raha hai,

posts = 1K ????

views = 21.2K ?

matlab ke 1099 post bhe hon to IF 1K he show karega?

Ap hamain bata do ab kese check karain on mobile ke abhe total posts kitni hain ?

Hello,

I understand your concerns regarding the recent updates, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused. The changes were made to improve the readability of large numbers, especially on mobile devices. Here's an explanation:

Post and View Count Display:

• For numbers less than 1,000, the exact value is displayed (e.g., 999).
• For numbers from 1,000 to 999,999, the value is displayed in thousands with one decimal place if necessary (e.g., 1k, 1.1k for 1120).
• And for higher numbers from 1,000,000 to 999,999,999, the value is displayed in millions it will have two decimals (e.g., 1m).
• Similarly, for billions, the value is displayed in billions (e.g., 1b).

So, when you see:

posts = 1.1k, it means the posts are approximately 1,120.

views = 21.2k, it means the views are 21,200.

Exact Count on Mobile:

Your point is valid for mobile users. We are working on adding a feature that will allow users to see the exact numbers when they tap on the shortened format. This will help you see the exact count of posts and views.

We appreciate your feedback and are always looking to improve your experience on India Forums. After all, we've been around since 2003, and with your support, we're continuously trying to bring India Forums up to date with the times.

So, let's give these updates a fair chance and see how they grow on us. Sometimes, change can be a bit like switching from your favorite cozy blanket to a new one – it might feel different at first, but soon it becomes just as comfortable!

Thank you for your understanding and support!

Best regards,

Deactivate account are two words replaced with account hibernation lol seriously a forum this big with so much of PR related services should have come up with a simple account deletion/complete deactivation feature a long time ago lol don’t know what’s the deal lol

Deactivation only hibernates the user. The posts are still visible. The forum needs to come up with a feature that temporarily hides all the posts pertaining to the deactivated account otherwise it’s of no use.

As we’ve mentioned previously, deactivation hibernates the user, and the posts remain visible to maintain the integrity of discussions.

If a user wishes to hide their posts, they can manually do so. Repeatedly posting the same concern doesn't change our current policy, however we appreciate your input.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Vijay

This approach is consistent with many large forum sites (Reddit, StackOverflow, etc) to preserve the integrity and continuity of discussions. If it was not a big deal I am sure these large forums would have also implemented it.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an active part of our community.

Best regards,

The Bolly forum is dead…I don’t even mean to the point of slow activity but just dead. Have a look at the first page just filled with old topics getting pushed. Where’s the community? Where’s the engagement? People make a forum and if there are no people around anymore what’s the point of these updates?
